BOARD BASICS CLASS #7 BUDGETING
Monday, August 10, 2026
6PM
Zoom Details to be provided
A well-planned budget is the foundation of a
financially sound cooperative or
condominium. Together operating and
capital budgets guide a building’s spending
priorities, maintenance plans, and long-term
financial health while also
determining the maintenance/common
charges required from shareholders/unit
owners. This class will explore the
budget development process and the role
played by board member, including
treasurers. Participants will learn how
to create realistic operating and capital
budgets, monitor financial performance
throughout the year, and plan for both
routine expenses and major capital projects.
The session will also provide practical
strategies for managing seasonal
fluctuations in expenses such as fuel and
utilities, as well as periodic costs including
real estate taxes, insurance
premiums, and reserve funding needs. This
class – and the full Board Basics Series-- is
free to CNYC members, but
advance registration is required for each
class. Registration is limited to 40 people, to
facilitate discussion. Non-
affiliates are welcome at a fee of $50 per
class. To register, please click HERE.
ACTION COMMITTEE FOR REASONABLE REAL ESTATE TAXES
Wednesday, August 12, 2026
6:00 PM
Zoom details to be provided
The Action Committee for Reasonable Real
Estate Taxes has worked since 1990 for
property tax fairness in New
York City. With many entities now talking of
tax reform, it is the time to organize to make
sure that the interests of
housing cooperatives and condominiums will
be well represented in all discussions. Learn
how the Action Committee
is broadening its outreach and analyzing
proposals to show they will impact you. Hear
the Action Committee’s plans
to arrange for co-op and condo homeowners
to testify on proposed new laws, arrange
meetings with New York City
and New York State lawmakers, and provide
tools and data analysis for co-op and condo
homeowners to share. The
current abatement program is in place
through June 30, 2027, but another
continuation seems unlikely. The
recommendations of the most recent
Advisory Commission convened by former
Mayor DiBlasio includes the use of
sales information to assess cooperatives
and condominiums and recent State
legislation establishing the pied-a-terre
tax requires the use of sales information for
this tax surcharge commencing in Fiscal
2028. Based on our analysis of
recent press, we need to be organized to
fight for fair and equitable treatment of
cooperatives and condominiums in
any new tax legislation. There is no fee to
attend Action Committee meetings but
advance registration is required.
Please make sure that your cooperative or
condominium is represented. All co-op and
condo board members and
homeowners are welcome. To register,
please click HERE.
